Heat Wave Snapped, But Drought Continues

Some relief has arrived breaking our heat wave, but the drought continues across our region. There were a few scattered showers across Illiana…Iroquois, Kankakee, Champaign and Vermilion counties recording some rain Sunday, but there was barely enough to wet down the dust.

Temperatures over the weekend climbed to around 105 degrees, with heat index readings of around 115. Our forecast is calling for high temperatures to remain in the upper 80’s all this week. And there is no mention of additional rain through Sunday.
